I know I say this over and over again, but I adore my crockpot. I am seriously considering starting a religion dedicated to this thing.  Throw in a few ingredients, leave it all day, then eat a delicious meal. Does it get any better? I’ve found a lot of great crockpot recipes on Skinny Ms., as well as on Spark People. However, yesterday I found a delicious Italian Chicken recipe. All you need is chicken breasts, Italian dressing, and Parmesan cheese (I used fat-free dressing to lighten it up). It technically calls for Italian seasoning, carrots, and potatoes, but I didn’t have those ingredients in the house and was determined to use the crockpot anyway. It still tasted delicious, even without these items. The recipe was rich and flavorful, but not too saucy or tangy. If you’re looking for a quick recipe that requires only what you probably already have in your pantry, this is it.

Obviously I did too much eating and not enough picture taking, but this is what the dish looks like on the blog Crock-a-doodle-doo (where the recipe came from). I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!

Stop Saying You’ll Write Back Later. Do It Now.

May 22, 2013

If you’re like me, you either answer an e-mail within three minutes or it takes you three weeks. Sometimes this is harmless, but I’ve realized it’s actually a bad habit, and it’s one that I’m really trying to break. When I respond within three minutes it’s great, but when I [...]

On Carrie Underwood and Achieving Your Dream Life

May 21, 2013

I just bought the new issue of Marie Claire a.) because I like that magazine and b.) because Carrie Underwood (my life idol and spirit animal) is on the cover. Her interview was great, and revealed some things I wouldn’t have expected. For example, I’d picture Carrie as a girl’s [...]

My Tips for Becoming a Runner (Slowwwlyy)

May 20, 2013

I have zero athletic ability. Not an athletic bone in my body. Part of this stems from my crappy, old person knees. I had to start going to physical therapy in middle school, and went throughout high school. When everyone else was running the mile in 8 minutes during gym, [...]

The Grocery Store is My Happy Place

May 17, 2013

I find something very peaceful about wandering the aisles of my local grocery store. Which is good, because I do it probably three times a week (at least). Hey, I drink a lot of coconut water and really love oranges and bananas. No shame, no shame. I also really enjoy [...]

Why I’m Afraid of 3D Movies

May 16, 2013

3D movies are more popular than ever. You can see your favorite action movies, cartoons, and even “The Great Gatsby” in a more up-close-and-personal way. For many people, this is terrific. It enhances the movie experience and makes it more lifelike. Or so I’m told. For me, this is awful [...]

Ode to Dani Jonas

May 15, 2013

When I was spending some time in Florida, my boyfriend would text me for help managing our DVR. Since I record basically everything on the E! Network, as well as “My Crazy Obsession” and every variation of “Teen Mom” that exists, our DVR gets pretty full. I never miss a [...]

There is Never a Good Time To Make a Change. Here’s Why You Should Do It Anyway

May 13, 2013

Hope all of the moms, grandmas, aunts, and mother figures in your life had a great Mother’s Day. My mama and I had lunch together, did some shopping, and hung out before going to a great dinner with my dad. My parents have two dogs, one of whom generally ignores [...]

Don’t Hate Me For Liking Kid Rock

May 9, 2013

I have a secret that I’d finally like to share. No, I’m not involved with a Walter White-esque meth ring. No, I’m not spending all of my paycheck gambling on sports games (though at least then I’d know where all my money goes). My secret is this: I really, really [...]
